Creative Assembly Announced today that Napoleon: Total War, sequel of sorts to the amazing Empire: Total War, will be out next month.

"Napoleon: Total War will be released on 23rd February 2010!", a message says on the company's Twitter account. No word on whether that's just in Europe or worldwide, but with the game being released on Steam, you'd assume it's a global date.

As someone who spent months trying to orchestrate some semblance of the Napoleonic Wars within the framework of Empire, February 23 can't come soon enough.
